come as you are
M.O.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the point of blending in.
Don't look at me, Mr. want to Be.
You can't even fill your own shoes.
Come as you are.
You'll be the one to rise above.
Being fake is being dead.
Change your face, then change your head.
Me.
You.
You.
Me.
That's the way it's gotta be.
Come as you are.
Take my advive, leave that crowd behind.
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
So listen before you turn away.
Come as you are.
Reclaim your identity.
Before its lead astray.
See it all for what it is.
Me.
You.
You.
Me.
That's the way it's gotta be.
Me.
You.
All.
Come as you are!
What's the point of blending in.
Being fake is being dead.
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
See it all for what it is.
Me.
You.
You.
Me.
That's the way it's gotta be!

Good call. Yup this holds up nicely. His guitars on every album sound brutal, I know he uses different musicians on every album but the guitars always sound awesome.

When thrash ruled. It was a great time that unfortunately is only listened to by the older metal crowd, but it holds up today and is even better than the new "metal" wannabes
